Friday Morning Meeting

 Happy Daffodil Day!!

Today is our last day of Distance Learning. I am sooooo looking forward to seeing you face-to-face again! We are expecting everyone to return, however, if you are not returning, please ensure you have completed the Level 2 Return Form sent out by Ms Driver and let the school office know.

Please charge your devices and have your SSR book ready, as well as your drink bottle, pencil case and yummy energetic food. See you at school on Monday.

We hope you all have a fantastic weekend.  Come back to school refreshed and
ready to keep learning - bring your "can do" attitudes.

Keep safe, be cool and be KIND

Daffodil Day on Friday 28th August 2020

 

Thursday Morning Meeting

 

Wonderful Wednesday Meeting

 

Tuesday Morning Metting

 Good morning and welcome to Thrilling Tuesday!

Good news from yesterday's announcement that it looks like we are heading back to school next Monday - yay!

Remember to edit, edit, edit your work BEFORE sending it to me, please.

See some of you at our Google Meet today and tomorrow!

Monday Morning Meeting

 Good morning and welcome to this wet Monday. 

There is a new Drive Your Learning slide deck up with a new writing focus: Narratives so go and take a look at that and all the other new learning up on the slide deck.

The Still Life challenge continues this week. Try grouping the objects you choose together and treat it like a piece of art posed for you to draw! This will be more challenging (but attractive) than just sketching individual items - use a nice cloth or plate mat to put the objects on as part of your sketch.

There are challenges this week:

1. Write a reflection about your Spoken Word feedback and what you need to do to finish it off. Include how you plan to work with that feedback.
2. Create and share a photo of your creative Daffodil for the Cancer Society 'Daffodil Day'. (Make one rather than 'colour in'.
3. Send in a photo of your Still Life sketches - keep perfecting your observation skills and re-crafting to refine the detail of your sketching.

Remember to edit, edit, edit your work BEFORE sending it to me, please!

Lockdown

 

Friday Morning Meeting

Hi Room 14

Friday! We are nearly there. 

I hope that you have enjoyed your week of engaging with your learning from home. 

Our final Spoken Word performance will be recorded on Flipgrid on Wednesday, August 26th. Keep practising and make sure that when you make your recordings in Flipgrid that you use great lighting (don't have a window behind you) and that you are dressed (not in your PJs!) after all - we are at school. Remember this for our Google Meets too!

Many of you have asked if you have to memorise this poem for your performance. It is one of the guidelines to memorise your poem and not use cues cards. See how you go with that. This project has lots of different skills you are developing and growing in. Believe you can do it!

Our Google Meets next week are on the schedule below. These Google Meets are workshops to help you now with your Spoken Word or Narratives but also when we begin our next project of writing narratives, so it is important that you don't miss out.

Friday Morning Meeting

 

We are continuing to work on our Spoken Word as a priority, however, here are some learning activities that you may like to explore as we finish off Week 4, Maths Week. We can roll these over to next week - either in class or at home - depending on the decision by the government on our Alert Level announcements.

Thank you for your energy and engagement in driving your learning since our new Level 3 Lockdown was announced!

Well done - you are superstars Room 14!

Stay safe and be kind.
